Gene shared her passion for the environment and wildlife in her writing and used her influence to fight for the preservation of nature and alert others to the importance of their natural surroundings.Born in 1863 in Indiana, she grew up with a love of nature and spent most of her innocent childhood wandering through farms and forests, catching butterflies and observing birds like doves and small animals like geese. In 1886, Gene married Charles Porter. Although she expressed happiness with her family life, Gene lived a more independent life traditionally unavailable to women in the late nineteenth century. Gene insisted on writing and photographing wildlife around her cabin near Limberlost Swamp. There she expressed her passionate feelings towards nature and its preservation. She spent much time in Limberlost, and later the cabin became the site where she conducted field studies on Indiana's natural environment.Early in her life, Gene studied nature in the Limberlost Swamp and recorded her thorough observations through photographs and detailed writings. Gene published dozens of booksnovels, nature studies, poetry collections and children's books. Her books mainly connect readers to natural settings and earn her a high reputation. One of her best-known novels, A Girl of the Limberlost is about a lonely girl who lives on a farm and escapes from her sufferings in Limberlost.Gene's legacy （遗留物）is visible not only within her books, photography and films but also within the Limberlost Swamp, which eventually faded away to the farmland.

But imagine finding a quieter spot of ocean. If you could stick your ears under the water, you might hear other sounds. And many of those sounds are made by fish.People have known that fish make sounds since ancient Greece; that is why they gave some fish names like red drum, pig fish or croaker. “They're based on the sounds these fish make,“ said Audrey Looby. She studies fish sounds at the University of Florida.So far, about 1,000 fish species have been recorded making sounds. Looby's favorite-sounding fish is the Gulf toadfish. It makes an amazing sound like a boat whistle. Scientists are not sure how many fish make sounds. Some think that it might be as many as 22,000 types, about two-thirds of the 34,000 fish species known. And those are just the sounds fish make on purpose.Fish sounds are important because they give a lot of information about what is going on to other fish, and to scientists. If scientists hear a fish chewing, then they know there is food available. The warning noises of certain fish species give information, too. They can tell scientists how many fish are living on a reef and where they are located. And fish sounds can tell where the endangered species are located, too, said Looby.Fish sounds might even help preserve and bring back fish habitats. For example, scientists want to try playing healthy fish sounds in a reef that is dying. The healthy sounds might encourage fish to return and live in the dying reef. "Learning about fish sounds lets us learn about underwater environments and hopefully manage them at the same time,“ Looby said.8. Why are some fish names mentioned in paragraph 2?A. To make a prediction.B. To think highly of ancient Greece.C. To introduce a new research.D. To present a rule about naming fishes.9. What can be learnt about fish sounds?A. They are made by accident.B. They sound like boat whistles.C. They remain partly mysterious.D. They are fully explored scientifically.10. What might fish sounds help scientists with?A. Locating reefs.B. Recovering fish habitats.C. Identifying species.D. Identifying the types of reefs.11. What do the last two paragraphs mainly focus on?A. The significance of fish sounds.B. The explanation of fish sounds.C. The distribution of fish sounds.D. The classification of fish sounds.Scientists from the Faculty of Engineering, Information and Systems at the University of Tsukuba designed a text message mediation robot that can help users control their anger when receiving upsetting news. This device may help improve social interactions as we move towards a world with increasingly digital communications.While a quick text message apology is a fast and easy way for friends to let us know they are going to be late for a planned meeting, it is often missing the human element that would accompany an explanation face-to-face, or even over the phone. It is likely to be more upsetting when we are not able to perceive the emotional weight behind our friends' regret at making us wait.Now, researchers at the University of Tsukuba have built a handheld robot called OMOY, which was equipped with a movable weight driven by mechanical components inside its body. By shifting the internal weight, the robot could express simulated emotions. The robot was used as a mediator for reading text messages. A text with unwelcome or frustrating news could be followed by a persuasion by OMOY. The robot tries to make the user not get upset, or even expresses sympathy fbr the user. "With the medium of written digital communication, the lack of social feedback redirects focus from the sender to the content of the message itself J author Professor Fumihide Tanaka says.The mediator robot was designed so that it can help suppress the user's anger and other negative interpersonal motivations. The researchers tested 94 people with a message like "I'm sorry. I am late. The appointment slipped my mind. Can you wait another hour?" The team found that OMOY was able to reduce negative emotions. "The mediator robot can relay a frustrating message followed by giving its own opinion. When this speech is accompanied by the appropriate weight shifts, we saw that the user would sense the 6 intention9 of the robot to help them calm down," Professor Tanaka says.12. What influence may the message mediation robot have on society?A.It can improve social health.B.It can control a person's emotion.C.It can promote social communication.D.It can increase digital communications.13. How can the robot express simulated emotions?A.By shifting its internal structure.B.By moving its inside weight.C.By changing the colour of its body.D.By observing its user s expression.14. What does the underlined word “suppress“ mean in paragraph 4?A. Prevent. B. Enrich.C. Express.D. Conduct.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Ways To Improve Social Interactions B. Messages Upset Humans Reading Them C. Robots Help Control Negative EmotionsD. Science Involved In Robot Communication二、七选五Helping the environment and protecting our resources are very important activities.16. There are several ways that you can help protect this planet we call home.Use reusable bags. Plastic bags that get thrown out end up in landfills or in other parts of the environment. 17 Also, it takes decades for the bags to decompose（分解）. There-fore, whether you are shopping for food, clothes or books, use a reusable bag. This cuts down on litter and prevents animals from getting hold of them.18 Instead of buying individually packaged drinks, consider buying a reusable water bottle. Not only will this help protect the environment, but it will also help you save money. A lot of coffee shops, Starbucks, for example, even offer a discount to customers who use a reusable container for their drinks.Save electricity. Use energy-efficient light bulbs（灯;包）instead of regular bulbs. 19 What's more, make sure you turn off lights, the TV, and other devices when you are not using them. Turn off your air conditioning or heat when it's not necessary. This is especially true as the seasons change. Open your windows in the early fall or put on more clothes in the early winter.Save water. More water is wasted than we realize. Turn off the water tap when you are brushing your teeth. Don't turn your shower on until you're ready to get in and wash your hair. Limit your water usage as you wash dishes. 20A. Use reusable drink containers.B. Use the air conditioning less often.C. And students without doubt can make a difference.D. They last longer, which will save you a bit of money.E. Everyone should take measures to fight against the water pollution.F.
